Monday July 24th 1922
The girls did the washing. Cora took us to town after dinner.
I finished packing my trunk, sent it to depot. Hattie had
the family here for supper. Ott took me over to get ticket and
check. We hear it was Fred Robinsons boys hurt in car wreck at Washington yesterday.
Tuesday July 25th 1922
The Whetstones brought me to the depot at 6.45. It was a long
days ride. Mr & Mrs Watson on. We spent the night at Sherman Hotel.

A good nights rest. Late breakfast and left for Centralia
at 11.00 AM. Rode the rest of the day through Dakota (fine train).

Spelt well. Not car sick in the least. Rode all day through
level country in Canada. Read some. Went to bed early.
Friday July 28th 1922
We were in The Canadian Rockies when I woke up. Rode
most of the day on The Observation. Wonderful day. Wrote Hattie.

Reached Vancouver at 8 oclock. Went directly to Hotel.
Sent telegram to Lizzie. Wrote Hattie, Lydia, Sciota Lape and
Gertrude Smith. Took a wonderful sight seeing trip in PM.
